Davis & Elkins College will celebrate the “Spirit of the Season� with the annual Festival of Carols on Sunday, December 8 at 7:00 p.m. in the Myles Center for the Arts Harper-McNeeley Auditorium. The event is free and open to students, faculty, staff, and members of the Elkins community.
The evening’s events include musical selections as performed by the Davis & Elkins College Concert Choir, under the direction of Elizabeth Marshall-MacVean and accompanied by Donna Baroudi Huffman, and a Christmas message offered by new Benfield-Vick Chaplain, Dr. Franklin Tanner Capps. A goodwill offering will be collected to benefit the Davis Memorial Presbyterian Church food pantry, and a reception with holiday treats will follow in the Joni and Buck Smith Arts Forum.
“I’m very much looking forward to my first Festival of Carols service here at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø,â€� says Capps. “In all the planning meetings I’ve been part of, a consistent theme has been how important this service is, not only for the College, but also for the wider Elkins community. It promises to be a restful evening of music and contemplation – just what’s needed in what is otherwise a hectic time of year.â€�
Coordinator of Foundation and Church Relations Tina Vial adds, “We’re excited to share the Spirit of the Season with the community again with the transformational message of Christmas!�
Davis & Elkins College is pleased to bring this meaningful service and performance to the community and extends its hopes for a peace-filled holiday season to all.
